GRASS TRACK ROADS.
A ONE TREE HILL COMPLAINT.

He stated that it was becoming a serious matter, as in the One Tree Hill district quite an number of purely grass tracks had already been dedicated by the Government, feecently the board had written to Mr. J. S. Dickson, M.P., and Mr. W. j. Jordan, M.P., complaining of the practice without any reference to the board's requirements, and making no provisions for footpaths, drainage, and water which private owners wotlld be required to do, and stating that the board had resolved not to expend any public Money oft these roads.
